thermal conductivity of gas is directly proportional to mean free path, mean particle speed and heat capacity. Due to small size and lower mass, helium has high mean free path and mean particle speed; hence has high thermal conductivity.

What is the ability to conduct heat and electricity with metalloids?

Metalloids have an intermediate ability to conduct heat and electricity, falling between metals and nonmetals. They have some metallic properties, such as being able to conduct electricity to some extent, but not as effectively as pure metals. Their ability to conduct heat and electricity can vary depending on the specific metalloid.
